Someday, our children, and our children's children, will look us in the eye and they'll ask us, did we do all that we could when we had the chance to deal with this problem and leave them with a cleaner, safer, more stable world?

To leave our children a clean and stable world, we have to act now! Two major problems, hunger and climate change are the most pressing challenges of our time. To solve them, all current solutions are based on biomass. Biomass produced from the most ineffective factories on the planet: plants. Therefore, we already deforested 130 million ha of forest within the last 20 years, getting only 47.5 million ha of agricultural area. With the growing population and the need for a substitute for oil, we have to find new ways.


Based on high efficient technical CO2 conversion methods, we developed a new process to convert the produced hydrocarbons into a universal carbon source. This sustainable carbon source will be able to substitut for biotechnological processes, as well as main parts of the starch industry.


By accomplishing this new manufacturing process, we can liberate agricultural area to enable food-, instead of energy crop cultivation and provide a reliable source of sustainable carbohydrates.
